Don Cheadle and Wesley Snipes

Have you seen the movie Crash? Well Brooklyn’s Finest is pretty similar to that movie. I have seen many movies try to replicate what Crash had done 6 years ago but to my knowledge they have all been complete shit. Brooklyn’s Finest is a bit different though. It actually was a decent movie and invoked a bit of emotion, not much.

Brooklyn’s Finest starts you out in the lives of three cops that are not exactly “fine”. They all have their own problems about what they are doing in their lives and what has completely fucked them up. You first see this cop named Sal (Ethan Hawke) who has a major problem with reproducing way to many kids for his own good. He is in a situation where he can not provide the best for his family and live in a complete shit hole. With the temptation of drug money laying everywhere it is driving him mad. Then comes the Bad Ass cop/undercover drug lord Tango (Don Cheadle). Now this guy really takes the cake when it comes to taking it to a whole other level. He has been “in the game” so long that is has started to mess with his mind and his life. Not only that he has become sweet friends with a drug lord (Wesley Snipes) who he feels he needs to protect from the government because he saved his life once. Here is the best part, the biggest pussy cop of them all Eddie (Richard Gere) is an aging cop that has 7 days until he retires from his crappy job as a cop. Not only does no one like the guy but he is addicted to prostitutes and blow jobs. He is faced with his life being wasted by protecting people that do not give a crap about him and really has no where to go after he retires. Talk about a shitty life. Not only do these guys have shitty lives, none of them know each other.

Anyways, go see the movie for yourself and make up your own mind. Just because I see Richard Gere as a pussy does not mean you will. Ohh yeah by the way does Richard Gere ever age?

I had been waiting for this movie for a long while now. Not sure what drew me in to this one but it might have had to do with it being a mystery or some shit like that. Be prepared to be mind fucked watching Shutter Island. The turns and twists in this movie are enough to make your brain feel like its running on an endless hamster wheel. Though with all the twists and turns it is a bit predictable and it will not take long to figure out what is going .

Only a couple of theories will come to your mind while watching the movie and you will come to find out that the one that you picked will most likely be right. Leonardo DiCaprio takes the role and makes it his own. You will see him do everything from smelling all of the fishy things going on along with the reality that he faces throughout the movie. Shutter Island takes you inside of a mystery that apparently everyone knows about except Teddy Daniels(Leonardo DiCaprio). I was really excited to see this movie but I thought it felt a bit short on what I thought it was going to be. So go see this movie for yourself and let me know what you thought.

“This is the story of a solidly middle-class African-American family that reunites for Christmas for the first time in seveal years. Ma’dere (Loretta Devine) is the Matriarch who’s Los Angeles home is where the vast majority of the story takes place. As with any family gathering there are topics that are best not discussed. When they are discussed here they end up in fights -verbal or physical (an excellent sister-on sister catfight stands out here). One sister is encouraging the siblings to sell the family dry cleaning business and split the profits. One bother is running from loan sharks. One brother is AWOL from the Marine Corps and One sister has brought along the man she’s dating at a historically Black college. Despite what the trailers and TV commercials may lead you to think this is not a warm syurpy comedy. There are dramatic moments, violence and course language. It is however very much a slice-of-life that not enough hollywood features present. This family, warts and all, is definitely not a hollywood feel-good film with blackfaces. It is authentic in it’s portrayal of themes facing African-Americans in particular but Americans in general. ”
